Halogens and trace metal emissions from the ongoing 2008 summit eruption of Kīlauea volcano, Hawai`i
2012
Volcanic plume samples taken in 2008 and 2009 from the Halemàumàu eruption at Kīlauea provide new insights into Kīlauea's degassing behaviour. The Cl, F and S gas systematics are consistent with syn-eruptive East Rift Zone measurements suggesting that the new Halemàumàu activity is fed by a convecting magma reservoir shallower than the main summit storage area. Comparison with degassing models suggests that plume halogen and S composition is controlled by very shallow (<3m depth) decompression degassing and progressive loss of volatiles at the surface. Compared to most other global volcanoes, Kīlauea's gases are depleted in Cl with respect to S. Similarly, our Br/S and I/S ratio measurem…
Synthesis of isomorphous cobalt and nickel thiocyanate coordination compounds: Effect of metals on compound properties
2019
The reaction of 2-methylpiperazine with the thiocyanate ligand and two transition metals leads to the production of two new isomorphous [ML2SCN4] where L is the 2-methylpiperazine and [M =Co (1), and Ni (2)], presenting an octahedral configuration. These compounds were characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography, TG-DTA analysis, as well as infrared and UV-Vis spectroscopy and TG-DTA. The magnetic and antibacterial properties were also determined. Through the link with N-H···S hydrogen bonds, a global 3D network was established. The studied compounds show the metal center’s impact leading to different properties. Indeed, the first compound shows high spin orbit coupling, whereas t…
Potential Carcinogens in Makeup Cosmetics
2023
Facial makeup cosmetics are commonly used products that are applied to the skin, and their ingredients come into contact with it for many years. Consequently, they should only contain substances that are considered safe or used within an allowable range of established concentrations. According to current European laws, all cosmetics approved for use should be entirely safe for their users, and the responsibility for this lies with manufacturers, distributors, and importers. However, the use of cosmetics can be associated with undesirable effects due to the presence of certain chemical substances. An analysis of 50 random facial makeup cosmetics commercially available on the European Union m…
“KVV Liepājas metalurgs” maksātnespējas prognozēšanas analīze
2018
“Liepājas metalurgs” bija nozīmīgs uzņēmums Latvijā, taču to samērā īsā laikā piemeklēja maksātnespējas problēmas. Tas bija pārsteigums, ņemot vērā ilggadējus pozitīvus audita rezultātus. Lai uzņēmums ilgstoši labi strādātu ir jāseko līdzi finanšu un maksātspējas rādītājiem. Autore vēlas noskaidrot, vai šajā uzņēmumā varēja maksātnespēju prognozēt ātrāk. Bakalaura darba mērķis — izpētot “KVV Liepājas metalurgs” finanšu rādītājus un pielietojot bankrota prognozēšanas modeļus, konstatēt uzņēmuma maksātnespējas prognozēšanas iespējamību. Galvenie uzdevumi — izpētīt uzņēmuma finanšu pārskatus; aprēķināt un novērtēt uzņēmuma finanšu koeficientus; veikt bankrota prognozēšanas analīzi; uz analīzes…

Possible role of differential metalloproteinase 1 expression in signet ring cell and intestinal colorectal carcinoma histotypes
2008
Background: Pure signet ring cell colorectal carcinoma ( SRCC) is an infrequent and highly malignant histological variant of colorectal cancer (CRC), while it is present as a histological component in colorectal carcinomas more frequently. Materials and Methods: The aim of this was to widen the knowledge of the biological factors involved in the pathogenesis and aggressiveness of SRCC by the identification and evaluation of possible molecular abnormalities. By means of immunohistochemistry the expression of the proteolytic degradation enzyme matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-1, that is a collagenase specifically degrading collagens I, II, III and of the adhesion proteins E-cadherin, B-catenin an…
Role of Natural Cross Linkers in Resin–Dentin Bond Durability: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
2022
Background: The role of endogenous Matrix Metallo Proteinases in resin dentin bond deterioration over time has been well documented. The present study aimed to systematically review the literature; in vitro and ex vivo studies that assessed the outcomes of natural cross-linkers for immediate and long-term tensile bond strength were included. Methods: The manuscript search was carried out in six electronic databases—PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, Cochrane, Web of Science and DOAJ, without publication year limits. Only manuscripts in English (including the translated articles) were selected, and the last search was performed in December 2020. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Revi…

The influence of NiTi alloy on the cyclic fatigue resistance of endodontic files
2020
Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of NiTi alloy in endodontic rotary instruments on cyclic fatigue resistance. Methods: One hundred and sixty-four (164) sterile endodontic rotary files were selected and distributed into the following study groups: A: 25.08 F2 ProTaper Universal (PTU) (n = 41)
